Ray Rice’s indefinite suspension from the National Football League has been lifted after an independent arbitrator ruled in his favor, clearing the way for the running back to continue his playing career nine months after he knocked out his fiancee in a hotel casino elevator.
Rice, 27, who played for the Baltimore Ravens, initially was suspended in July by NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell for two games. The ban was increased in September after a video of Rice punching Janay Palmer was made public on the Internet.
